Could be better, but it has been falling. Earlier figures were around 12l/100km. Must just be a tight driveline.
Update: at 2000km now and just did a longish (130km) urban run including approx 75% freeway running with some congestion. Trip computer reported 7.4l/100km - pretty decent figures for a boosted 3 litre six! The long term (since new) average has dropped to 10.9l/100km.

Also noticed that the auto-stop tends to wait a little bit longer before cutting the engine. Previously the cut would happen exactly as the wheels stopped turning, resulting in a slightly jerky stop as the suspension unloaded. Now it waits about half to one second, allowing me to ease off the brake more smoothly.
